Introduction

Successor to Test Drive 5, Test Drive 6 was regarded as a down point in the long running series. Whilst it sported a healthy host of exotic cars to play with, the game suffered due to its dated physics engine and substandard graphics, which resulted in a game that unfortunately did little to try and enhance its predecessor.

I am sure that they try to make the graphics in the Test Drive series mind-blowlingly pathetic.

these screens come from the playstation version but the graphics in the PC version weren't any better. the cars look nothing like the cars they are supposed to look like, the textures look like they are drawn in MS Paint and are mapped totally wrong to the cars (and the cars are modeled bad anyway.)

yeh the skyline back end looks absolutely horible like sombody smashed it although the caterham and the prowler does not look to bad
also if you look in the games file's you can see a hidden model for a bmw lemans type car, however the car never apears in the game.

I have the Game Boy Color version, and while barely even a quarter of these cars are in it, the BMW V12 LMR (the Le Mans racer you're talking about) and the Panoz GTR-1 LM Road Car can be unlocked by winning every cup in succession.

XThUnDeRX, please post the hidden cars here. Yes, these can be playable, but after modification and this doesn't count. Unless Cryo or Pitbull/Atari doesn't release these as official addons we will not list them.

for a game thats well over 10 years old and has several newer versions?

Game itself wasnt as good as TD5, but, but the intro was best
To prevent misunderstanding: TD6 wasnt bad game at all, and it had some awesome cars like Toyota GT-One (which I never drove) or Venturi Atlantique.
But I prefer TD5 more, since it was my first racing game ever played, and it have lot of awesome stuff.

As far as car selection and track design, this game did allright, as far as car modeling....possibly amoung the worst I've seen in a production game, most of the cars look nothing like their real world counterparts. Gameplay isn't that bad, it's actually kind of fun if you can deal with the laughably rendered cars.
